Hotline Miami PS4 release date confirmed for Europe, North America

Hotline Miami's North American release date for PlayStation 4 has been confirmed.

Dennaton Games' action title will launch on Tuesday, August 19 in North America and Wednesday, August 20 in Europe, and will come with specific features tailored to the PS4's DualShock controller.

For instance, players can utilise the touch pad to look around and lock onto enemies.

In addition, if an enemy is pinned to the ground, shaking the controller allows you to perform the execution move - with sounds also played through the DualShock's speaker.

Devolver Digital's chief financial officer Fork Parker explained: "The team didn't want to tamper with the perfection that is Hotline Miami for the latest release, but there were certainly some fun new options that were only possible on PS4."

Hotline Miami is a cross-buy title, meaning anyone who owns the game on PS3 or PS Vita will have it on PS4 automatically.
